ABSTRACT Background: Despite being one of the most common fractures encountered in patients, intra-articular distal radius fractures still pose therapeutic challenge to Orthopaedic surgeons. With the advent of locking plates, the fixation of these fractures has been made better, specifically by fixed angle volar locking plate. This study investigates the efficacy of these plates using volar approach, functional and clinical outcome, in addition to the radiological alignment. Methods: Thirty patients with closed distal radius fractures, with AO TYPE B3, B4, AND C fracture pattern, operated with distal radius plate fixation using volar approach, were included in the study during the period of August 2014 to August With a minimum follow up of six months, radiological outcome was analysed and functional outcome recorded (Gartland and Werley s demerit scoring system). Results: With a mean age of 42 years and follow up of six months, the range of movement of the wrist was very satisfactory, and the mean grip strength was 80% of the opposite wrist. Radiological parameters were wellmaintained, and functional parameters by Gartland and Werley showed a significant improvement in most of the patients during the follow up period. The complication rate was less and insignificant. Conclusions: Primary volar plate fixation of intraarticular distal radius fracture provides a stable construct that helps in early mobilization, thereby better functional outcomes and minimizes chances of delayed/malunion. Keywords: Volar plate, Distal radius, Gartand and Werley, Wrist INTRODUCTION Constituting around 10 % of the total skeletal trauma, involving both the elderly and young patients, distal end radius fractures, which can be extra or intra articular, has been treated with various modalities. Conservative treatment has been in practice since time immemorial. 1 However, with enhanced anatomical learning and advent of increased operative approaches and implants, distal end radius, particularly involving articular surface, have increasingly being operated. Restoration of volar angulation, radial length, and radial inclination are essential for good functional outcomes at the wrist joint. Maintenance of articular congruity and stable fixation reduce the incidence of osteoarthritis and also help with earlier rehabilitation. Various treatment modalities, including plaster cast application, kirschner wire fixation, dorsal and volar plates, and external fixation, have been described for the management of these fractures. Intra-articular fractures of the distal radius represent a therapeutic challenge as compared with unstable extraarticular fractures. 2 Apart from being more difficult to reduce and stabilize with internal fixation, these injuries frequently result in malunion, which may result in a less satisfactory long-term functional outcome, if not anatomically reduced. 3,4 In the past, these fractures were International Journal of Research in Orthopaedics May-June 2017 Vol 3 Issue 3 Page 589
2 managed with external fixation or a combination of limited open reduction, kirschner wire (K-wire) augmentation, and bone grafting. 5 However, with the development of specifically designed locking implants for the distal radius, Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using volar fixed-angle plates has also shown to be a valid treatment option for unstable, intra-articular displaced distal radial fractures, more so in osteoporotic bones. 6 Open reduction and volar plating ensures more consistent correction of displacement and maintenance of reduction. This study evaluates the anatomical, clinic-radiological and functional outcome of open reduction and plate fixation in the management of fracture distal end radius. METHODS Table 1: Reduction assessment criteria. Guidelines for acceptable reduction of distal radius fractures18 1. Radial shortening <5 mm at the DRUJ compared with the contralateral side 2. Radial inclination on posteroanterior radiographs >15 3. Sagittal tilt on the lateral projection between 15 dorsal tilt and 20 volar tilt 4. Intra-articular step-off or gap <2 mm of the radiocarpal joint10 5. Articular incongruity <2 mm of the sigmoid notch of the distal radius Table 2a: Demerit point system of Gartland and Werley. Thirty patients with unstable distal radial fractures treated with locked volar plating at the institute from August 2014 until August 2016 was included for the study. Patients treated with closed reduction and cast application, more than three weeks old trauma, compound fractures or those with ipsilateral upper limb fractures were excluded from the study. Skeletally mature patients with modified AO type b3, b4, and c with volar fragment with less than three weeks old trauma were included in the study. Due ethical committee was obtained.

Score (max 24) Outcome 0 to 2 Excellent 3 to 8 Good 9 to 20 Fair 21 to 24 Poor After the patients presented to the hospital, they were vitally stabilized and assessed for associated injuries or systemic comorbidities. Anteroposterior and lateral views radiographs were taken and classified as per AO classification. Due medical fitness was obtained and skin condition assessed before posting the patient for surgery. Patient was operated under block or general anaesthesia with fluoroscopy assistance. fractures were closed and classified according to the AO/OTA classification (Figure 2). In our study 60% of cases were of type C of AO classification and 20% cases were of B2 and 18% cases were of B3 type. The mean time to union was eight weeks (range 6-12 weeks). At the time of final follow-up (minimum six months) the clinical scoring chart was done according to Gartland and Werley scale (Table 4). Figure 2: Chart showing AO classification. Figure 1: Standard Henry approach incision. For surgery, standard Henry volar approach was used utilizing the plane between brachioradialis and flexor carpi radialis longus (Figure 1). Intraoperatively reduction was assessed under fluoroscopy (Table 1). A volar splint was applied for two weeks till suture removal, followed by which regular wrist physiotherapy was initiated. Patients were followed up at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and assessed clinically with recording of functional status by Gartland and Werley scale (Table 2). Radiographs were obtained on every visit and reduction parameters as well as status of bony union were assessed, along with comparison with radiograph from previous visit.

4 Gartland and Werley scores in the study, with 86% of patients having good to excellent results. Radiographs and clinical anatomy was analysed as per Sarmientos modification of Lindstorm Criteria (Table 5). At final follow-up, the average volar tilt was 6.7 (range, 2 of dorsal tilt to 15 of volar tilt), radial inclination averaged 20.2 (range, ) and radial shortening averaged 0.7 mm (range, 0 2 mm). The loss of volar tilt and trauma surgery interval correlated inversely to the functional outcome significantly (p value<0.05). There were two cases of superficial wound infection that settled well with oral antibiotics. No patients had complex regional pain syndrome or non-union and none had extensor tendon irritation or ruptures. Residual pain, stiffness and deformity were there are about ten percent of the patients. Table 4: Outcome based on Gartland and Werley scale.

The biomechanical results show that locking volar plates provides significantly greater resistance to fracture gap motion compared with standard volar plates in a dorsally comminuted distal radius fractures. 7 Fixed-angle volar plates prove stronger under cyclical loading tests and locking screws help in attaining implant stability and in addition, spares the vascularity and periosteum. 8 Although there are few complications associated with volar locking plate system but are less as compared to dorsal plating even for dorsal communited fractures. In the study by Ruch and Papadonikolakis, the volar collapse occurred regardless of the type of dorsal plate used and that volar plating was associated with fewer complications than dorsal plating. 9 In the dorsal plating group there was a statistically significant association of volar collapse of the distal fragment when the distal screws were pointing proximally. Volar plating for dorsally displaced, unstable fractures of the distal radius has several advantages compared with dorsal plating. The volar approach, fracture reduction, and volar plating techniques are easier than dorsal plating. Volar plating preserves vascular supply to dorsal metaphyseal fragments and does not cause extensor tendon problems. 10 When the quality of the pronator quadratus muscle is good, volarly placed plates are almost covered with the pronator quadratus except the distal edge of the plate. 11 Rozental et al reported patients treated with volar fixedangle plating for unstable distal radius fractures, with average follow-up period of 17 months. 12 The radiological parameters in this study with volar tilt of 6.7 degrees and radial inclination 20 degrees was about in the same range as Rozental et and and also by Lueng et al. 13 In most cases effective restoration of anatomic alignment was acquired and maintained, along with functional restoration and rehabilitation. Grip strength and adequate wrist movements were attained at end of six months. Anakwe et al in their study also reported similar outcomes being described by the patients. 14 MacDermid et al reported that patients with distal end radius fractures achieve the majority of their grip strength and movement in six months. 15 In their large series of 170 patients with distal end radius fractures, Kanabar et al. noticed that parameters such as range of motion and grip strength were regained by up to 94% in the three months after volar plating. 16 Also, the shorter the trauma surgery interval and better achievement of volar tilt resulted in better functional outcome as also found in study by Phadnis et al. 17 The overall complication rate in our study was 18%, which is comparable to that reported by Jagodzinski et al in a bicentric study on distal radius variable angle locking International Journal of Research in Orthopaedics May-June 2017 Vol 3 Issue 3 Page 592
5 plates. 18 They reported a complication rate of 19.6%, although the majority had screw misplacement, while Kawasaki et al had no reported cases of screw misplacement. 19 In our study, there was only no case of screw misplacement because extra care was taken to prevent this complication since it could have resulted in longer fluoroscopy time. Similar studies were conducted to compare complications in locked volar plating versus pinning and external fixation in the treatment of unstable intra articular distal radius fractures and gave similar findings as ours. They also concluded that volar locked plating is a boon for unstable fractures because of its stiffer construct and lower rates of complications. 20,21 No complications pertaining to extensor tendons was observed in this study. Similar conclusion was reached in separate studies by Hakim et al and Othman. 22,23 This study is not immune to limitations. This study was a single centric study with limited number of cases and no control group or other modes of fixation for comparison. Further analysis and work will help to delineate the strategy in distal radius plating to avoid complications and adverse outcomes. CONCLUSION Volar locking plate fixation for intra-articular distal end radius fracture is a vital mainstay in management of these fractures with good outcome and limited complications.
